What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can support early childhood mental health, foster emotional regulation and socio-emotional growth, and collaborate closely with parents to deliver holistic care in a preschool or counselling setting.

I’m a compassionate early childhood educator with 3+ years of experience supporting children’s cognitive, emotional, and social development within preschool environments. I currently facilitate play-based learning activities at KLAYPreschool, applying child psychology principles to understand learning styles and behavioral patterns.

I’m pursuing an M.Sc. in Early Childhood Counselling and Family Therapy, with a strong focus on child psychology, behavioral understanding, and family dynamics. I’m passionate about transitioning into child counselling and building a future practice focused on early childhood mental health and emotional well-being.
